Family Planning Tasmania

What Family Planning Tasmania does

Family Planning Tasmania is a Tasmania-based non-profit organization founded in 1973 that delivers specialized sexual and reproductive health clinical services, education programs, and advocacy across the state. The organization operates three physical clinic locations in Glenorchy (headquarters), Launceston, and Burnie, offering contraception access (including IUD insertion and vasectomy via partnership with Vasectomy Australia), STI testing and treatment, pregnancy options counselling, termination of pregnancy (medication and surgical), cervical screening, and menopause support. Bulk billing is available for healthcare card holders, and STI drop-in testing is free for under-21s, full-time students, and concession card holders.

The organization runs a portfolio of branded education programs including the Growing Up Program (K-Year 6 relationships, sexuality, and protective behaviours education), the Secondary CSE Essentials Program for high school students, and the SHIELD program for people with disability and/or additional needs. All education programs are mapped to the Australian Curriculum, Early Years Learning Framework, and Respectful Relationships Teaching and Learning Package. Supporting technology includes the MyChoice mobile app (sexual health information and clinic booking), an extensive printable factsheet library, and third-party integrations with HotDoc for online appointment booking and Userway for website accessibility. The organization holds WCAG 2.0 compliance.

The business model combines fee-for-service clinical revenue (with significant subsidized/free tiers), professional learning workshop fees (e.g., Implanon insertion training, SoSAFE! workshops), school-delivered education programs, and likely state and federal government grants channeled through membership in the Family Planning Association of Australia (FPAA) network. Distribution is entirely Tasmania-focused and direct-to-consumer via clinics, schools, community outreach, and digital channels (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram). Key partnerships include the Tasmanian Department of Education, DECYP School Nurses, YFCC, TUSA, YNOT, Working It Out, and Vasectomy Australia.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Family Planning Welfare Association of NT: Northern Territory's family planning association and FPAA network member, providing SRH clinical services and education across a similarly small regional population. Closest peer by scale and geographic constraint, useful for benchmarking operational efficiency.
• Sexual Health Quarters: Western Australia's specialist sexual and reproductive health provider offering clinic services, education, and professional training through a similar non-profit model. Comparable peer for benchmarking clinical service mix, education delivery, and inclusive population focus.
• True Relationships & Reproductive Health: Queensland's family planning organization delivering the same combined clinical SRH services, school education, and professional training model. Directly comparable non-profit SRH provider within the FPAA network, operating at larger geographic scale.
• Family Planning NSW: State-level family planning organization within the same FPAA network as Family Planning Tasmania, offering clinical sexual and reproductive health services, education, and professional training across New South Wales at materially larger scale. Most structurally comparable peer given shared mission, service mix, and non-profit operating model.
• SHINE SA: South Australian sexual and reproductive health non-profit offering clinical services, school and community education, and professional training in a similar integrated structure. Direct FPAA-network peer with overlapping vulnerable-cohort programming.
• Family Planning Victoria: Victorian FPAA-network family planning organization providing comparable clinical services, sexuality education programs, and professional learning workshops. Operates a substantially larger clinic footprint and revenue base but mirrors FPT's service architecture.

Others

• headspace: National youth mental health and wellbeing service network funded by the Australian government. Adjacent rather than competitive: shares FPT's focus on young people and co-presents at community events, but operates a distinct clinical scope.
• Family Planning Alliance Australia: National peak body representing Australia's family planning organizations, of which FPT is a member. Enables benchmarking against peer organizations, policy advocacy, and shared standards — useful network effect but not a commercial peer.
• Working It Out: Tasmania's primary LGBTI+ support and education organization, listed as an FPT referral partner. Not a direct SRH clinical competitor but ecosystem-aligned, sharing patient cohort and co-located community education work.

Broad incumbents

• MSI Australia: National for-profit reproductive health provider offering termination services, contraception, and telehealth across Australia at materially larger scale. Overlaps with FPT on termination and contraception but operates a broader, commercial service portfolio.
